Will you buy Charlie Crist’s ‘no-holds-barred’ memoir?

The Post’s George Bennett reports that former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is writing a book titled “The Party’s Over: How the Extreme Right Hijacked the GOP.”

Of course, Mr. Crist used to be part of that “extreme right” when, in the Legislature and as attorney general, he earned the nickname Chain Gang Charlie for his harsh views on how inmates should be treated.

Since then, Mr. Crist has gone on to become the Republican governor who embraced President Barack Obama to show his support for the massive federal stimulus program.

He subsequently lost to Marco Rubio in his bid to become a U.S. Senator, and has switched to the Democratic Party. There’s much speculation he will challenge Gov. Rick Scott next year in a bid to reclaim his old job.

The publisher, Dutton, promises that in his book Mr. Crist will offer “very frank opinions on Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and other top-tier Republicans.” It is slated to be published in late 2014.

The Republican Party’s rejoinder: “We didn’t know that Charlie Crist was launching a new career as a fiction writer.”

Republicans will portray Mr. Crist as a turncoat. Democrats will portray him as someone who finally has seen the light.

But will readers of either affiliation want to buy the book? Take our poll and/or leave a comment.
